Pros
Great coworkers Resume building opportunity Used to be a good place to work
Cons
High turnover rate Burn out Below state and national average salary Leadership disregard for employee welfare Micromanagement This is not a place you want to work. If you receive an offer, reduce the hourly rate by 50% since that’s what you will really earn per hour. Morale is low. We fear losing our jobs. Anyone in a position to leave is leaving and the rest are looking elsewhere. Salaried employees are expected to work >60hrs per week. In addition to daylight M-F hours, we’re working nights after 11P, weekends, and taking 24x7 on call rotation every few weeks. I’ve never encountered a group of salaried employees whose time is so strictly monitored or projects micromanaged. Exhaustion and burnout are rampant. Forget spending time with your family or friends. Pay is below state and national average for most positions and women are paid just 60% of what men are paid in equivalent positions. There are few opportunities for advancement in rank or pay. Advancement opportunities only present when staff leave or are demoted. Small benefits like “casual dress code”, “flexible schedule”, “work from home”, and “time off” no longer exist. Pre-approved paid time off is revoked at the last moment with little or no explanation. The insurance benefits require employees to use Carillon facilities and the Carillon Pharmacy no matter how inconvenient. The change control process is so arduous, it takes days to request assistance of a coworker reporting who reports to a different supervisor. It takes hours each day just to document work and time since there are not enough licenses for the time system. Leadership is duplicitous and inconsistent. The rumor mill has a greater accuracy rate than communication from leadership. We are told of internal job postings only to discover external candidates are selected. We hear that our jobs are safe one moment and that outsourcing is imminent the next. We’ve been told our department will become a consulting firm. Senior leaders tell us to work with our direct supervisor if we need time off after overnight, yet the direct supervisors refuse to modify schedules and punish those requesting schedule changes. It is common to overhear leadership dressing down subordinates for minor infractions. The CIO is a profoundly negative fellow who periodically sends out scathing emails regarding t-shirts, system changes, or break room clutter and will not even acknowledge your presence as you greet him in the hallway. HR and consultants have been brought in to rebrand the restructuring and layoff process as a “service transformation". When we provide honest feedback about the restructuring, we’re chastised for being disengaged. TSG used to be a good place to work and build a career. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Build your resume and get out before this department collapses under its own weight.
